Question / Help Poor output quality with FIFA 16

[DHYNAMiXX]

Hello,

I tried different settings but in the end its always the same.. The quality on itself is fine, but the game-play shows stutters and its really annoying, i also tried to lower the output resolution but it didn't help..


QuadCore Intel Core i7-3770K, 3700 MHz
ASRock Z68 Pro3 Gen3
G Skill RipjawsX F3-12800CL9-4GBXL 2x 4GB
GeForce GTX 580

I added 2 logs, thanks for any help.

Try specifying the crf value of 15 and going with ultrafast preset

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

Its still the same, at points its good and then it drops to micro stuttering.

 

[Harold]

Got a clean log showing the attempt with crf 15 ultrafast?

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

I guess.. I had ''allow 61/120fps'' i ticked it off now, don't know if its any helpful. Thanks for the fast reply's.

I have to say tho its ALMOST there, its better then the before recordings. So thanks so far.

Are you saving directly to mp4 or saving to flv?

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

mp4

 

[Harold]

That may be part of your problem.

FLV tends to behave better overall, and if the encoding process stops unexpectedly, mp4 will corrupt to the point that the entire file is unusable where flv will only drop the most recent second or two at most.

If your editing software doesn't support flv, you can remux to mp4 after recording by following https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/how-to-convert-flvs-to-mp4-fast-without-re-encoding.78/

How can i change it to flv instead of mp4?

 

[Harold]

In your broadcast settings, you have a file output path.
Make sure to end the path with "$T.flv"

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

Nevermind, it works now. Let me see the difference.

Its still the same, decent/good quality but stuttering at times.

Also with h1z1 it doesnt even record.. its just a corrupted file.

And now even the ones that worked before stopped working.. wtf.

I can see the preview - i record it - stop recording - file corrupt.. smh.

 

[Harold]

file corrupt according to what?

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

There is a .mp4 in my output folder - but i cant play them anymore, i don't understand whats wrong. I reinstalled the program, still the same. Its working as in ''recording'' cause i can see it does but when i stop recording i cannot use the file. Its like it doesn't finalize or something.

 

[Harold]

Using what media player?

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

All of em, wmp, vlc, etc. The file also stays on 56kb regardless of the time i keep recording. But i see its preview when alt-enter and look inside obs. Look at the screenshot, the file stays like that.

Screenshot of your broadcast settings in OBS please.

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

Sure thing. Its the same as it was before i reckon, same folder that it. Don't know about that buffer thing though. But when it worked before, i ADDED h1z1, which worked 1 time to record.. after that the rest didn't work anymore.. -,- so i reinstalled obs.

As you see in the second picture, it does capture the game footage, but when i stop recording it, it doesn't turn into a valid mp4.

 

[Harold]

add a "\$T.flv" to the end of the file path.

You don't actually want to be saving to mp4.

 

[DHYNAMiXX]

I did before, as you recommended but the output didn't really change. It was better as a mp4.. But the output ''quality'' itself isn't the issue at hand now. Even as a .flv it doesn't finalize/process the recording anymore.
